There used to be a competitive highjump there for lurchers. Some tiny whippets used to scramble up over 6 foot and some lurchers could do it on a oner. Then it went up to 7 foot etc. There were always lurchers pups for sale. Same as Appleby fair and, at Appleby, a general air of lawlessness which my delinquent side enjoyed. Sadly both venues are nothing compared to what they once were. When I first went to Appleby there were genuine bare knuckle arranged fights on the camp sites and a dozen outside_ of _the- pub fights. There were lots of worn out lurchers for sale along with p

I used to go there regularly. I remember Prince Philip used to compete in carriage driving and walked around with nobody taking the slightest notice of him. Given the number of clay boys wandering around with shotguns slung over their shoulders, it was a security nightmare and a terrorist event in the making. Bu they were simpler times I guess . And what a short space of time to arrive at where we are now in terms of terrorism.

I do! I love watching it and annoying her indoors with my caustic commentary. It's one of life's few pleasures.

I hope you don't mind IWW, but after you expressed interest in her, I wrote to Shamima Begum and told her you wanted to traffic her for housekeeping and sexual purposes. I told her you had a deep interest in frying pans, bodily functions and perverted sexual practices. I explained you randomly and sometimes continually attacked people online, even those who had spent their time privately messaging you during your various bad spells. Even those who had, perhaps naively, asked others to lay off you. Unfortunately, she has taken to bathing in fermented camel piss and smearing goat shit

Load of complete bollocks. Simpering TV commentators with permanently sickly smiles. Overweight, poshly spoken, worthy women with enormous arses, clad in tweed skirts 'running' around a ring alongside their ridiculous charges, boobs a bouncing. Over emotional, gay men, snottily weeping because of a ribbon their misshapen mutt has won. And the judges, possessed of some deep wisdom which enables them to decide which dog above others is worthy of a cup. The Kennel Club, that huge monopoly, presiding over institutionalised cruelty and genetically f****d up dogs. Not forgetting

I've never done falconry . That's one thing I'd like to witness before I pop my clogs.

Good and bad came out of his yard. But at least you knew what you were getting . No frills, no bullshit no made up pedigree. My son had a cracking first cross collie greyhound out of there. I would have thought most dogs with greyhound in them will chase. After that it's down to training and luck.

So called puppy farms are nothing but moralistic hysteria. I couldn't care less if somebody is making money churning out pups. Its exactly the same as farmers breeding livestock. Nobody complains about farmers repeatedly mating pigs or sheep for people to eat. Why complain if somebody is producing pups for daft people to cuddle and coddle? The punter is getting what he or she wants. The puppy farmer is supplying a need. What's the problem? Yes it might be tough on a bitch and some may have poor welfare standards. But that can be dealt with under existing laws. Hancock was forced out

When did it become a 'war'? Its a 'special operation' ( an assault ) about the control of global oil supplies. In the same way Maduro's kidnap is about which countries benefit from Venezuela's oil. One thing is for sure. China is over a barrel ( pun intended) in regard to its future oil supplies. And Cuba, as we know it, will cease to exist as, on Trump's orders, their supply of Venezuela's oil has dried up. America's hawkish movers and shakers are making the most of Trump's presidency and reconfiguring the world as they see fit.

It wasn't long ago that Trump was critical of the UK's operations in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. He later apologised when he was informed of the number of men we had lost. Meanwhile Tony Bliar believes we should have joined the attack on Iran immediately. Does he ever reflect on his mistakes from the past? Apparently not. Personally, on this occasion, I think Starmer has acted correctly. He's not daft, he knows the legal basis for the war has not been established, so he's keeping the UK's war hands squeaky clean. We should avoid any losses of our troops at all costs. If ther

Console yourself mate. There's very, very few rabbits left. The new virus RHD2, I think it's called,has wiped them out. A few pockets exist here and there, but the numbers are only a fraction of what they should be. I liked ferreting and lamping, but long netting was brilliant. Totally silent apart from the cry of the odd rabbit. And you could kill big numbers with nobody even knowing you were there.

" The smell of wet hounds". Never to be forgotten! I followed the Bewcastle hunt a few of times. I remember one of the huntsmen opened the window of his van. He must have had over a dozen hounds inside. Geez, the stench took my breath away. I had the same experience with the otter hounds. Christ they could reek after a day's hunting. Lovely, goofy, soft buggers, but smelt like rotten tripe

It's always struck me as strange that every hound, be it scent or sight, are placid, easy going beasts when they are not hunting. They've got to be the easiest dogs to live alongside. If I was forced to trust a dog with children, it would be a hound. They have fantastic temperaments when they are switched off from quarry.
-
I make no distinction. I just love hunting. Started off chasing beetles, earwigs and centipedes which I found under grass sods when I was 3. I've been obsessed ever since. I progressed as a kid onto frogs, newts, perch, pike, birds' nests in bombed buildings, butterflies, rats, rabbits anything. I've snared, netted, shot, coursed, and catapulted quarry. If I go on holiday, I'll spend my days chasing butterflies, lizards and geckos. I remember a holiday on a Greek island when one of my sons was about 20. We spent the days spearfishing and hunting anything that moved under rocks a

It was a wind up As I have already explained. Four people thought it was funny. Three didn't. Sorry for any unintended offence. See my re_ quoted post below.

Man U were lucky this afternoon. They got the big team decision. The 'penalty' was a free kick outside the box imho. Cunha made the most of it without doubt. The new manager bounce can' t last forever though. Two big games coming up . If we come through them without getting beat, I'll begin to believe Carrick really is the messiah and I'll forgive him wearing his collar up like a teenager. Just wait till Fergie catches him with his collar up. Arse kick I reckon.

Could be, as you say, a distraction from problems at home. But could also be about oil. If they control both Venezuelan oil and Iranian oil, then they control lots of supply to China.

More like Norah Batty mate.

I know it mate.

Yes I have readily admitted I am bored. In fact you have made more posts than me on here. Over 3000 more. Just don't read my posts if they irritate you. I'm not everybody's cup of tea. Be nice. And people will be nice back. You bring on folks' hostility to you yourself. Remember: " it's nice to be nice".

Going to Spain tomorrow Mack.

Nah, I'd want to fight the lazy b*****ds who won't put their trolleys back in the correct spot. And I would lose. f**k you Mack.

I was happily retired, unexpectedly unretired for a few months , back home and now bored stiff. So I was thinking about getting a lamping dog. I was forbidden. Bitch. So she overheard a phone conversation about me and a pal buying a shrimping boat, just to fish locally in decent weather conditions. She went f****n ballistic. "How old are you? You're not twenty any more you know. You've just buggered off for months and left me recovering from an operation. Er no. You had your sister and your mate a nurse staying here. Part of the reason I took off. You're a f****n idio
